I have to agree here. Well, I do own one...:-)
For all the gory detail, see The Lotus 7 Club Technical Forum and, the ultimate for/.ers, An on-the-fly programmable ECU.
The thing that makes a Caterham so much better than a motorbike (it made me switch over) is the handling. I've been on-road in the Seven with motorbikes and on-track in the Seven with Ferraris, and the Caterham can go round the corners *much* faster than either. Many Ferrari owners who have witnessed this have later gone on to buy Sevens...
It's the only car I know of which is possible to buy with a built-in lap-timer as an option. It is, basically, a race car which has been made road-legal. Just.
